Hi, Juliet,
There are a bunch of logs so I hope this is the right one. BTW, the computer is the same, very slow and fading in and out windows. No change. Thanks.

...YOU MUST RESTART YOUR SYSTEM...
 
A couple of things we can try.
******
With Windows 7 (64 bit operating system) the following procedure will turn off all three lines of "fade" effects:

1. Click on control panel;
2. Click on view by: Large Icons;
3. Click on "Performance Information and tools";
4; Click on adjust "Visual effects";
5; There will be three line items showing the word "Fade" as the first character string on each line.
If there is a check mark - Uncheck the box in front of each of those three lines and then "OK" everything and back out then reboot your computer.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go to Control Panel --> System --> Advanced System Settings --> Advanced Tab --> Settings (under Performance) --> Uncheck all options that have the word "Fade Out" --> Click Apply

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Try unplugging all non-essential USB devices and restarting your computer and hopefully the problem goes away.
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/165554-usb-driver-general-fix-problems.html

~~~~
Also, if no improvement is seen I would uninstall the most recent Microsoft updates. With windows set to update to never check, I would manually download and install 1 or 2 at a time to find one that might be causing these problems.

Here what we can do is, locate the updates most recently downloaded. Go to the Microsoft Orb button, then All Programs, then windows updates
Then View update history, then at the top click on View update history. This will show you the ones by date that were downloaded and installed last.
We may need to reinstall these one by one till we find out which one MIGHT be causing a problem.
 
Hi, Juliet,

I tried the first two suggestions....no change.

After reading through the sevenforums website tutorial, it is more than I am comfortable with doing. Uninstalling and possibly reinstalling drivers is a bit scary for me. I decided to try the fourth suggestion so I skipped that for now.

When I go into Windows Update and click on the update history tab, there is nothing there. That seems very strange to me. Nothing, just completely blank. Was the history deleted during one of the other "jobs" I did?

Not sure where to go from here. Thanks.
 
OK, this might be our last option here.
If the below doesn't work I will have to send you to a different forum that deals with windows 7 system problems.

computer did an automatic update overnight and the next morning the computer was VERY slow
Click to expand...
What we can try is to do a system restore before those last windows updates, it's my wish......something good will come from it.
It wont hurt your computer, I've had to do it a couple of times and had to do it after this months windows updates.

The below tutorial is very easy to follow.

Hi, Juliet,

I am ready to do a system restore. My only concern is that it is telling me that two drivers may not be working properly after the restore and may have to be reinstalled.
Microsoft (DiskDrive) 06/21/2006 6.1.7600.16385
Microsoft (SECURITY) 06/21/2006 6.1.7600.16385

Is this ok?
 
I just went back in to System Restore to run but now the date of April 15 is no longer an option. That is when the Windows update created a problem. How can I restore to a point before that when there is no option to do that? Ugh....I can now only go back to April 19th. This is very frustrating.....
Any suggestions?
 
Yup, I did that and the furthest back I could go was April 19th so I ran the System Restore. The computer is still the same. I was hoping to go back before the 15th. Also, the Windows Update list is still blank so there is nothing to uninstall. You mentioned in a post about running Windows Update for security patches and to update Norton. Should I just do that and see what happens? If nothing changes, where do I go from here? Does it make sense to scrap Windows 7 and just do the update to Windows 10? Are there files from Windows 7 that are needed to update to Windows 10?
I know you are scratching your head, too, Juliet. Thanks so much for your help and input.

Let's manually try to check for windows updates.

Open the norton application, look for the update button and click on update now?

Myself, updating to windows 10 right now might not be a good idea so let's hold off for now.. It could help possibly then on the other hand could do some damage.
 
Hi, Juliet,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Life sometimes gets in the way!
I will check out the suggestions today and respond later today. Thanks!
 
Ok, so I'm not sure how I found this but I eventually got to a list of updates. There are 15 updates dated 4/15/16, which is the date things went bad. Can I uninstall only those updates and see what happens? They are either standard Windows updates or security related. I won't do anything until I hear back from you.

Norton is updated.

As for the forum link you sent me, I did read through it but won't do anything with it until we try above, if you think that's ok. Thanks!

Click to expand...
That should be it.

Through your control panel, make sure security updates for Microsoft is set to "never check for updates"
Then go to uninstall those updates. Remember, you can download and install all those updates again, we want to see if one of those is what has caused these problems.

Do 1 or 2 at a time....
 
I uninstalled all 15 updates there were from 4/15/16. I did a restart and it was so slow that I decided to just hit the power button. I got the screen that said Windows failed to start. The two choices I had were to "Launch Start Up Repair" or just start normally. I chose the first, thinking that repair might be good. After all is said and done, the computer is still slow and windows still fade in and out.

Two weird things:
1. Skype loaded up connected right away, which it was not doing but now has lost connection.
2. I have little padlocks showing on almost all the desktop icons, as well on files in my documents folders. Very weird. Any clues about that? They were there this morning when I wrote to you. Forgot to mention it to you then.

All in all, it seems to be about the same. Even though I have checked that it is never to check for updates, when I rebooted, there are now 4 Microsoft updates listed as being installed today, I guess from the reboot. Why did they get installed? There is another file in that list from 4/15/16 was Adobe Acrobat Reader DC which I would have uninstalled but that is not given as an option. Maybe that has something to do with all of this?
Thanks.

Start Windows in normal mode may have been your best option.

I'm going to have to refer you to another forum that can deal with these windows issues better then I can, I just don't know that much about what goes on behind the scenes with these problems.


You'll have to register, don't worry it's a safe place and I work there too.
Open a new topic, in the Topic Title type in failed Launch Start Up Repair also Supply a link to this topic so they can see what we've attempted.

Hi, Juliet,

I am working with a guy from What The Tech now but he has suggested I get back in touch with you to ask you about uninstalling and deleting the programs and logs that I now have on my computer from all the work we did. Would you please let me know what I should do and how? Thanks so much!
 
I'll post it here too
